Kazam Gymnastics: Opinions
Fantastic experience: This is a very supportive environment to learn gymnastics as an adult. I had no prior background in this field (although pretty active in other sports before that) and was amazed at how much progress I made in the first weeks. Can't believe I now have the motivation to wake up early to attend 6am classes ;) The programs are challenging, fun and rewarding - and they make a big difference for me as I work from home and try to maintain strength and mobility. Regulars also make it fun, it's nice to see people progress and notice your own progress!
Thank you for sharing your experience, Claire-Isabelle! We're thrilled to hear that you've found our gymnastics classes supportive and rewarding. It's great to know that you're making progress and staying motivated! We appreciate your kind words and look forward to seeing you in class!
Fantastic experience: Super safe and well stocked gym, energizing classes, supportive coaches ... oh, and a practice tightrope. They've really got it all.
Hey Oksana, thank you for sharing your experience with Kazam! We look forward to seeing you back with us soon :)
Fantastic experience: Absolutely loved everything about this place. The team and staff are extremely friendly and they focus on each individual person, like they actually care about your well-being and seeing you improve. Worth every penny! If you’re someone whose been wanting to exercise for a really long time but putting it off or if you’ve wanted try a new sport for a while but never found the motivation to do so, this place is definitely for you! Thank you Kazam for the amazing experience :)
Thank you for your kind review and love for Kazam Zeina! We look forward to seeing you back in action with us soon :)
Fantastic experience: Favorite place, endless joy I wish there was a gym like this in Saudi Arabia.
Areej, thank you for your kind review. Alex and I spoke about opening a gulf branch in many occasions. Maybe sooner than later :) Thank you for training with us over the last few months. Dani - Team Kazam

Mory, thank you for trusting our kids program. Your kid has been doing amazing in our program! Your insights and advice to us is very valuable. We hope that we continue to see you for many years to come. Best! Dani - Team Kazam
Fantastic experience: The coaches are absolutely awesome here; friendly, knowledgeable, and so motivating. I love the variety of different classes and skills that they teach. Best part is the community - everyone is so friendly, welcoming, and encouraging. It doesn't take very long for the coaches to learn your name and for you to make friends. The classes are so much fun. Lately I've been working on handstands and various flips :) If you're on the fence about trying it out, you can sign up for a single class, or their 4-class trial package (I highly recommend the 4-class package so that you can try various classes). I started with the 4-class package and absolutely loved it. I'm now having the time of my life going to multiple classes weekly :)
Vida, that was an awesome backflip. Thank you for being an awesome member of our community. Your smile and positivity while training makes our space a better place. We appreciate you training with us! Dani - Team Kazam
Fantastic experience: Alex has created a wonderfully inviting community here. There are so many strong people whom are all invested in becoming stronger, and helping everyone around them get stronger as well. The programming is amazing (changing monthly, with 3 month stretch programming). All the coaches are strong, kind and very knowledgeable - Alex, Steven, Tania, Martine, Brianna and Michaela are all very helpful and motivating. The classes are focused on proper strength through form - you won't have coaches badgering you to increase your weight. They will watch and if your form is lacking, they will tell you to reduce your weight and focus on your foundations. There are many beginner classes as well, and most movements have varying progressions, so it is inviting no matter your level of fitness. Personally, the most important life changing aspect of Kazam was dealing with my lower back pain, something I struggled with for years. Alex encouraged me to seek coaching and working with Michaela, she was able to teach me how to properly move and use my body to avoid compensating and move functionally. I can't express enough gratitude for the positive outlook on my future and approach to activities (like leg day!) without the fear of back pain. If you suffer from lower back pain, I highly encourage you to inquire about coaching from Michaela (and surely some of the other coaches) who can help you - she is kind, understanding and motivating. If you put in earnest effort you will see improvements in your functional strength, move better, feel better and learn some cool skills along the way - whether you are interested in mobility, leg / bent arm / straight arm / rings strength or handstands. You will never regret having a membership at Kazam.
Ryan, thank you very much for your review and for being an awesome member of our gym! See you around! Dani - Team Kazam
Fantastic experience: The instructors are incredibly helpful, there are programs for every skill level, and the environment is super welcoming.
Robin, thank you very much for your review and for being an awesome member of our gym! See you soon! Dani - Team Kazam
Fantastic experience: I have always been interested in gymnastics but I never had the chance to train until 5 months ago when I discovered and started training at Kazam. I go to classes very often, which in my experience are: Coaches: The coaches are very friendly. They encourage you, they find the weak points that you need to improve and give you recommendations and exercises to work on. Also, they can do incredible stuff that motivates you to keep working. Facility: The facility is nice and clean, and it has a lot of equipment, two bathrooms/changing rooms and easy parking in front of the gym. Members: Many of the members are very inspirational, with how friendly, flexible, strong, hard working and/or disciplined they are. The members are also very friendly and helpful. Many times they help you and give you advice. After a while, it feels like a community of people supporting each other to improve on your own goals. Everyone has a different fitness background. Classes: In general, it is a structured group program that repeats what you do each week and it changes a bit every month. There are specific classes about: leg strength, upper body strength, core strength; bridge mobility, front split mobility, middle split mobility, handstand, rings and tumbling. There is also “open gym”, in which you work out by yourself or with a friend. You can use any equipment available, like dumbbells, kettlebells, rings, pull up bar, cushions, gymnastic mats, parallettes bars, parallel bars, yoga blocks, air trampoline track, stall bars, gymnastics floor, etc. There are classes at different levels and even in any class, the coach can adapt the exercises at your own level and pace. App: There is an app called PushPress Members where you can check the schedule, what you are going to be doing in any session, and where you can also book your spot. There is even a social section. I really recommend this place, its coaches and members. For me it is much better than going to a gym. At Kazam, most probably, you are going to do many exercises that you have never done before. Those exercises, plus the common ones, will let you improve your mobility, flexibility, strength, coordination and skills. The group classes and coaches also motivate you to push yourself a little bit more instead of working out alone. Your fitness level does not matter or how much you know about gymnastics. At any stage that you are, you will improve, no matter what.
Arthur, thank you very much for your extensive review of our gym. You have been doing amazing work and we love having you as a member. We appreciate you training with us over the last year and look forward to many more! All the best. Dani - Team Kazam
Fantastic experience: I started taking classes at Kazam recently to work on strength training for my dancing hobby. I really enjoy the variety of classes and programming. The coaches are great at offering modifications as we build up our strength (or recover from injuries). The open gym time has become a favourite part of my week to practice my new skills.
Lana, from private training to classes with us at Kazam, we appreciate your weekly discipline to stay on track! Its paying off with your skills and handstands. Lots more to come for you this year, keep it up :)
Fantastic experience: I am very happy to be training at Kazam gymnastics. All the coaches are there to support, push, teach and make you the better version of yourself. Love all the classes from beginner to advance, strength training, tumbling, handstand, mobility and more… You can always find a way to improve and to feel strong. A Huge Thank You to Alex and his Team and can’t wait for my next class. Great cross training for anysport or to just start moving and taking care of your body
Nat, from a former gymnast to now as an adult, we appreciate all of your skills and talent which is more more than you realize!! Your ability to push through the struggle and still hold onto big skills is super cool. Keep being AWESOME :)
Fantastic experience: Life is so busy and I was finding that at the end of the day I just didn't have it in me to get to the gym. A colleague of mine mentioned Kazam years ago, so I've had it in the back of my mind for quite some time. This January, I decided to give Kazam a try and I am HOOKED. The community and coaches are very supportive and welcoming to folks at any level. The best part? It's so fun!
Hey Sara, Thanks sharing your awesomeness with us and coming back to gymnastics as an adult! We love seeing you tumbling and rock your skills. Don't stop the grind :)
Fantastic experience: Hi Kazam troops, I discovered gymnastics during the Montreal Summer Olympics in 1976, I was 14 years old. I bogged my parents for years to sign me up at a Gym so that I can do what I saw at different gymnastics segments. They finally gave up when I turned 16. To my dismay, the gym we went on to tell us that I was too old to be an Olympian in that discipline. And that was the end of a dream until I discovered Kazam Gymnastics, gymnastics for adults at the age of 61. Their Motto "It's Never Too Late To Be Awesome", how cool is that? Call me dyslexic, but 16 or 61 they are just numbers, so Why not? Sign me up. From day one I was greeted with a smile by the Coaching staff which made me feel special and that has not stopped a year later. They are competent, friendly and motivating and patient. They have different classes for everyone and level of abilities. My favorite class is “Tumbling”, because, I get to be a 61 year old kid and laugh at myself...and others. When the exercises are explained you get a demo, the how, dos, don’ts, the end goal and options (for people like me whom lack flexibility/mobility/strength or injured). I remembered during my second week of training, I witnessed a standing ovation to a member who achieved a 30 second passive hang on a pull-up bar for the first time. Perseverance and hard work paid off in that case and “That’s Awesome”. I realized then, that all wins are celebrated, whether big or small, they all count to form in the big picture. I may not turn out to be an Olympian or a Gymnast, but with perseverance, hard work and Kazam Gymnastics by my side, I’ll be living the dream. Thank you Kazam, for your continuous support and encouragements. RE
Thank you RE!! You definitely deserved the Kazam Spirit award from this past year. You're a true inspiration to the many other moms and dads who also had the same childhood dream of learning gymnastics. Thank you for bringing so much fun and passion to our community! We look forward to seeing what skills you can unlock in the years to come. Stay healthy and stay AWESOME!
Fantastic experience: Kazam Gymnatsics has everything you need to not only get into the best shape of your life, but have FUN while doing it! All the coaches are AWESOME and they do a phenomenal job at leading group workouts. It doesn't matter if you're a complete beginner or advanced; all are welcome. You will always be offered modifications for wherever you're at in your fitness journey. One of the best things about Kazam Gymnastics is that you are ensured to get balanced, whole body workouts which will lead to so many benefits in life. The body is supposed to move cooperatively as one unit. Many people have lost this natural, primal movement ability due to bad habits at traditional gyms or sedentary lifestyles. At Kazam, you're hitting all angles of the body in a fun, playful manner. Training here, you will build up an incredibly strong foundation which you can carry over to other areas of your life. After only a couple months of attending classes, I've noticed my body is significantly stronger in day to day activities and sports. And amazingly, previous injuries are slowly going away. Working out doesn't have to be boring. It's never too late to move and feel like a kid again!!
WOW! Thanks for these awesome words John!! We are so glad to hear how much you enjoy training with us. Its awesome to see how determined you are to pursue and conquer your mobility once and for all. Don't stop the grind my friend :)
Fantastic experience: Best workout and community in the city! I started coming to Kazam in 2017 as a student and ex-gymnast looking for a fun way to reconnect with the sport I loved as a kid. Fast forward 6 years, I’ve just come back to Kazam after taking a break to have a baby. I’m a far cry from the gymnast I used to be, and I feel like I’m starting over - and once again Kazam has totally exceeded my expectations. I can’t think of a better, more fun, more supportive way to get back into fitness! Kazam is different than any other gym or workout class I’ve tried in a couple of key ways. First, it has a structured program that builds on itself week over week, making it so much more likely to achieve your goals than a regular drop-in fitness class. Classes are available at different levels, becoming increasingly challenging, but even the most experienced athlete will get a workout even in a level one class. Second, the coaches are incredible, and that’s a testament to Alex’s leadership. Every single coach is knowledgeable and skilled, and can break a skill down to make it accessible and challenging for every skill level. Plus, they’re incredibly friendly, fun, and supportive, and they make sure their classes are welcoming. And third, it’s gymnastics! Every class is intentionally designed to work towards the strength, functional mobility, and skills needed for gymnastics, which is a ton of fun in and of itself, but also translates so well into every other sport or discipline (or just normal life!). I can’t recommend Kazam enough! Try it and you’ll be hooked, I promise!
WOW! Thanks for the thoughtful review Andree. From before having kids to now being an awesome mom, we've appreciate you sticking through the process with us over the years. It make us super happy to hear all of this, and these are what keep us going!! Keep leading the way for your kids :)
Fantastic experience: Super professional. Integrating strength, mobility and skill-work. Even when there are big groups, Alex would go around and give personal attention to make sure everyone is working correctly. Excellent atomosphere, great people. In one word - AWESOME!
Darr, with your strength and mobility, you are an inspiration to all of us at Kazam!! Keep knocking down the skills, one at a time :)
Fantastic experience: I really enjoy the variety and quality of the program and coaches, that keeps it fresh and exciting, a huge contrast from my previous big box gym membership ways. At Kazam it’s about mastering these skills that combine strength, mobility and balance. Over my two years at the gym I’ve made significant gains on my handstand, learned how to flip, I'm so close to a backflip and I still feel like I’m just scratching the surface…
Thanks for the kind words Brian!! You are one of the most improved members over the past few years with your mobility, handstands, and skills! Stay awesome my friend :)
Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym, highly recommend. I started out with Kazam doing private training sessions to improve my gymnastics skills for CrossFit. I quickly became hooked and transitioned to training exclusively at Kazam. The gymnastic strength training is quite challenging and the programming is very thoughtful. My body feels good after each session. After 6 months of consistent training, I’ve seen significant progress. I can’t wait to see what my body will be capable of after a full year (and more) of regular training at Kazam. Thanks Alex and Crew!
Josh, thanks for being such a great dude and sharing your experiences with us! From private training to the lvl 2 classes, we appreciate your motivation and discipline to stick to the plan. Keep knocking down the skills man! Don't stop the grind :)
Fantastic experience: I've been a member since they opened, this gym is amazing! It has great coaches and a friendly community, all people of all fitness levels will feel welcomed and encouraged. Kazam Gymnastics has improved my life and I feel better every time I go, so sign up and LET'S GET KAZAMED!
SAM! We appreciate you and your positive vibes and work ethic at Kazam the past several years!! Keep on keeping on man :)
Fantastic experience: The best conditioning center!! Teachers are so nice & competent!! A gymnastic Club for adults, the only one I know of. I'm so happy to have found it...Gymnastics is one of the most complete discipline! Strenght, mobility, coordination, power, flexibility, etc,...are all developped in young gymnasts. The basis of gymnastics training is specific and aimes much more than developing muscles mass. Gymnast conditioning is very effective, intense and never boring. At kazam, coaches are all attentive and the classes are directed, which is very stimulating. The variety of classes offered is so complete! Former athletes can rebuild effictively and quickly, in a healthy and well balanced way. Poeple who have never done gymnastics and who want to learn this discipline couldn't find a better place! The progression i see among the members of Kazam is incredible! There's no better place to build an athletic body.
Jolyanne, if there is anyone with all of the talent it would be you!! From splits, to handstands, to flips off the bar, to shoulder-stands, to backflips and aerials, to pull ups, to core strength, to anything gymnastics represents as an adult its YOU! Thank you for being with us and for continuing to find resilience with your training. You continue to lead the way for us all more than you know.
Fantastic experience: I've been a happy client at Kazam for years and keep coming back for more. Their philosophy of working on strength and mobility to facilitate skill development has allowed me to safely make real gains. Progress has been satisfying, consistent, and without injury or pain (ok, maybe there's a bit of good pain!). It's easy to stay engaged as the activities are regularly updated and rotated to challenge one's body and mind. Alex and Dani and their incredible team are very positive, supportive and fun, no matter one's skill level, experience or body type. They continue to nurture and build a great community. Five star.
From the shenanigans and silliness, we always appreciate your antis and character in our classes! You always make Kazam a brighter place Rob! Thanks for being AWESOME :)
Fantastic experience: Kazam is a great place to work out. It doesn't matter if you have background in sports, Kazam has classes for any level. Alex and team have created amazing atmosphere there. Whatever mood you were in before the class, rest assured that you'll leave the gym smiling. One of the greatest perks you get from your Kazam membership is a personal approach based on your goals and aspirations. Kazam classes are a perfect combination of hard work and fun!
You will never leave Kazam feeling worse than when you came in! Thanks for being AWESOME Inessa. Big skills coming for you this year!
Fantastic experience: At Kazam Gymnastics, it's more than just training – it's a supportive community where like-minded individuals come together to achieve success! With expert coaches guiding every class and offering tailored progressions for all skill levels, Kazam Gymnastics is truly worth it!
We miss your face at Kazam this past month!! Keep working on them walkovers :)
Fantastic experience: Very happy with this gym and the programming. The functionality of the fitness is exactly what I have been needing and I’m already seeing positive results. Stoked!!
Thank you for your enthusiasm, hard work, and positive vibes Cameron!! See you in class :)
Fantastic experience: Awesome place to get in shape and learn some cool gymnastics tricks. Love the place and love the people that work over therr, Alex is always pushing to be better
Stay on the grind Wencel! Lots of skills to come for you :)
Fantastic experience: KAZAM is what has been missing in my life. Despite 20 years as a manual therapist I am learning new things, achieving new goals and working toward becoming healthier both physically and mentally. I can't say enough good things about the gym, its programs and its community. Whether you dream of becoming a gymnast or simply becoming healthier Kazam is for you. If you're ready to become an athlete come to the gym, of you're not ready yet, come to the gym. Either way they'll meet you where you are in your growth.
Lora, we are glad to fill the gap in your life with our community at Kazam! Keep on being awesome :)
Fantastic experience: What a hidden gym Kazam is! I joined Kazam this past October and it has become a big part of my weekly routine. I had zero experience in gymanistics before joining. It has been an easy transition with the level of classes that Alex and his team provides. My favourite parts of Kazam is definetly the structured classes and the awesome community vibes that are there. It's a super welcoming environment and it's awesome to develop strength and skills along with the community members. Come get KAZAMED!
Thank you for the awesome words Alex! We look forward to seeing you progress this year to some big skills :)
Fantastic experience: Great place, amazing people
Thanks Allan, you rock!
Fantastic experience: I immediately loved Kazam because of its excellent equipment and spacious facilities. The energy is uplifting from the moment you walk in, thanks to the skilled staff and the strong sense of community. It feels like a second home where growth and support go hand in hand. Highly recommended if you're looking for a place to pursue and advance your athletic goals and make some friends in the process ;)
Thank you for all of your hard work Karen. We enjoy watching your hard work :)
Fantastic experience: Come as you are and start where you are with the help of a fun and supportive community.
Come as you are...love it. Thats exactly it :) Thank you Emmanuelle
Fantastic experience: From following the club in social media to having the pleasure of joining Kazam, I can say that the experience surpassed all my expectations. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the coaches are skilled and supportive. Kazam is prepared to all skill levels, from beginners to advanced, making it an ideal environment for adults exploring gymnastics for the first time or those returning to the sport. Thank you for all the teachings, and will always recommend Kazam. All the blessings to the team.
Hey Angela, thank you so much for the thoughtful review of Kazam! We love working with you and appreciate all your hard work. From back pain to now crushing it in the program, you're doing awesome :)
Fantastic experience: Having trained at Kazam for several months, I can confidently say that Kazam is a fantastic place to train. They have a handful of different class offerings. Want strength oriend training? They got you. Want skills oriented training? They got you. Want to get your sweat on and get in some conditioning? They got you. Maybe you just want to get your kettleball on, or get under a barbell? You can do that too! Alex and Dani, and the crew and coaches running this place are fantastic people, supportive, and it is clear they really care about their community and the fitness journey of the people in it. If you're shopping around for a class-based gym, want to learn (or improve!) gymnastics skills, want to try something new out, or you're even a completely untrained novice, you absolutely can not go wrong with Kazam. It's never too late to be awesome.
Thank you for the awesome review Lucas!! We appreciate your love and support for Kazam. We also miss you in the program and hope you will continue all your awesomeness :) Alex
Fantastic experience: I’m so delighted I found Kazam! I truly love going to all their classes. Alex and the coaching staff are wonderful. They’re dedicated, conscientious, and knowledgeable. The whole vibe is friendly and welcoming, and the members and coaches are supportive and encouraging. I’m continuously inspired to keep going and to work hard. The classes are intentional, and the skills and workouts are accessible to everyone. It’s fun and exciting, as well as humbling and challenging. I specifically joined to work on my handstands, but I’ve gained a whole lot more. I’ve made great strides with my strength and mobility, and I really enjoy learning new things and working towards new goals. I can’t recommend Kazam enough!
Thank you Davina for being the mommabear of Kazam. You continue to lead the way for Kazam and have the highest attendance thus far. Stay healthy, and stay awesome :) Alex
Fantastic experience: Alex and the rest of the Kazam team do an amazing job making gymnastics training accessible but challenging for everyone. As someone who has been around gymnastics my entire life, I still find myself learning new things, improving, and getting excited about going to the gym. The training is well structured, well thought out and helps me keep active while attending university. I can't recommend this place enough. If you're looking to stay/get fit while also learning new skills, this is the place for you. Thanks to the Kazam team for keeping it awesome. Looking forward to what's to come.
Gab, we appreciate you very much at Kazam and love that you can train alongside you mom in the same class. Thanks for being awesome my friend :) Alex - Team Kazam
Positive experience: Given there are so many great reviews, I have been hesitant to leave this.. I had attended a strength class in October and had issues signing up for another. I called and never got a response and still am unable to sign up. Outside of that the teacher I had for my particular class was not overly welcoming. There was minimal direction on how they’d like you to warm up. The gym space is great though & the person who helped me at the computer was kind. So I’m actually super disappointed I had this experience.
Hi Hunter, thank you for your feedback. I appreciate your hesitation before leaving this review. We aim to keep our customers very happy, so I am sorry that you didn't receive adequate service. I can certainly resolve the issue and address your concerns. I will reach out to you for a quick chat. Best, Dani - Team Kazam
Fantastic experience: This is THE place to build a resilient and capable body. The team is skilled, professional, and took the time to understand my personal goals and challenges, providing guidance and coaching to help me on my fitness journey. Strength and mobility here I come! It’s also a great environment to be in; safe, fun, and well structured. Thank you for creating a special place and such an awesome community!
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us Ian! We love the work and effort you put in with us during your time at Kazam. Thanks for leading the way with all your awesomeness :)
Fantastic experience: Kazam is awesome! It’s a place to learn to move better, build strength, enhance mobility and join an amazing community. Inclusive and welcoming to all. All of the coaches are knowledgeable about proper technique and form to maximize benefit and help you avoid injury, and will always have progressions and alternatives for all levels. My handstands improved more in a few months of working with Alex than they had after years of work. This is the place to be to learn how to handstand or improve (presses, long holds, shapes…) And a plug for Tune-Up on Sundays - my favorite self-care class.
Sarah. You are a superstar member! Thank you for training with us over the last few years. Your progress is inspiring. Dani - Team Kazam
Fantastic experience: Kazam Adult Gymnastics is so much more than just a "Gym". It provides top quality exercise and fitness programming with both a gymnastics and functional/longevity focus. But what makes Kazam really stand out, is the incredible community of dedicated and inspiring folks. Both practitioners and coaches alike, pushing and supporting each other. Whether you are the type to prefer to follow a specific program or want to play at an open gym session, Kazam has it all. It's never too late to be awesome!
Love this review Sophia!! Thank you for all your hard work and love for our program. We appreciate you very much :) Alex - Team Kazam
Fantastic experience: I've been trying to get back into exercising for a while after quitting competitive gymnastics abruptly due to ingury. I tried different things and nothing was giving me the feeling of wanting to exercise as gymnastics once did. After some research I found Kazam Gymnastics, a gymnastics gym for adults! I visited the place to see if it was something I would want to get into and met Alex. Alex explained how the program works, the classes, the website and every relevent information. Truly felt like this was someting worth a try. My first classes were awesome, the program truly gets you to move and do gymnastics while being adapted to adults that don't have the same abilities as when they were children. I've been going since May 2023 and I can't say one negative thing about the place, the people and the staff. Kazam Gymnastics is a great way to get back into excercising as an adult and being awesome!
Hey Camille, thank you so much for such a detailed and supportive review of your experience with Kazam! Super happy that this was such a positive experience for you. We look forward to seeing you back soon :) Alex
Fantastic experience: Kazam is an amazing place to train! One of the things I love most about Kazam is the way the classes are structured. When you come to the same class regularly each week you will benefit from the progressive overload training over the month and see your skills develop and improve. Not only this but every month you will work new skills so that your workouts are well rounded whether you’re coming 3 times a week or 7. I also find this program to be really supportive for preventing injuries. I’ve tried other programs, and sports and often ended up injured due to trying to progress too quickly without building the necessary strength or overtraining a particular muscle group. At Kazam, the program is well balanced to strengthen and condition the supporting muscles needed for gymnastic skill work. I also feel well supported to raise any limitations I might have to the coaches (eg: due to previous injuries, or something that got tweaked) and they will help adapt the exercise to build strength in a safe way, and help you work towards overcome imbalances! Aside from the programming itself, a huge part of what makes Kazam great is the community of other people on the journey with you! We all try to help each other out, cheer each other on, and work towards progress! It doesn’t matter where you are in your gymnastic journey, whether your learning how to kick up to a handstand for the first time, working on your press to handstand or some other awesome skill - this community is there to support you!
Shifawn, thank you so much for the kind words and thoughtful review!! We love that you appreciate the thought out programming and periodization. Thank you for being awesome and all your hard work the past year. Keep them shoulders healthy and let the gains continue :)
Fantastic experience: I joined Kazam in May 2023 to supplement other forms of training. Since joining, I’ve noticed so much gain in my physical abilities and self-confidence. The coaches are absolutely great and attentive to everyone in class regardless of the number of participants. We can say that I now do other forms of training to supplement gymnastics!
Thank you Liza!! We appreciate you at Kazam. Love the journey you're on to unlock the handstand, pistol squat, and muscle ups! Make them happen
Fantastic experience: There’s only one Kazam! This place is truly wonderful because there’s no other place like it for adults! It's like a playground, but we’re learning so much. Training adults in gymnastics is no easy task, everyone comes in with a different fitness background or none at all, yet Alex and Dani chose to go ahead with it and what a great idea that was. I really enjoy the coaching and programming and how every phase is focused and builds on the previous one. If you’re injured or you don’t have the mobility to do a move everything is modifiable to help you reach your goal without injury. I find there’s so much thought placed into this programming, compared to a lot of other fitness programs. This is so important and Kazam thinks of those details. Ever since I started I can see improvements in my mobility and other gymnastic moves. The atmosphere is great, the coaches are fun and engaging, just a great learning environment. I am beyond happy to have discovered Kazam. Wishing you guys more success.
Adult playground is right!! We like to play as hard we work at Kazam! We're happy you came across Kazam a year ago. Keep picking away at the weekly mobility :)
Fantastic experience: Kazam is awesome! Theres no other gym like it in the Ottawa-Gatineau area. Going to Kazam, you can expect to get bendier, stronger and resolve those mysetrious aches, pains and kinks (...looking at all you office workers out there). I joined Kazam as a regular member and soon began working with the head coach, Alex, as one of his 1-1 students. Alex is on a guru level of gymnastics knowledge. Its a privilege to work so closely with him not only because of the physical gains, but because of the insight into how the body works and how train in a healthy and sustainable way. With Alex, I've seen my handstands improve from zero to getting airtime (?!), added reps to my chin ups and dips, and seen my mobility expand all around. Not to mention, I have been able to accomplish this throughout a very busy period where I was in and out of the city for weeks at a time. Alex catered the program to what my schedule required and I was able to train no matter where I was. I highly recommend the 1-1 option for those of you who can't always show up to the gym. Many thanks to Alex and the Kazam team :)
Lorena!! It has been an absolute pleasure working virtually with you the past 6 months. Your ability to stay disciplined while on last minute vacation or work trips is a huge contributor to the awesome results you're getting. Your spine is finally starting to really open up and its paying off with more room to move and play in both your handstands, and strength training!! I couldn't ask for a better online student :) Keep up the grind. Theres so much to look forward to.
Fantastic experience: This is an amazing gym and community. No matter what you are training for, there are likely benefits to the gymnastics training provided by Alex and his team at Kazam. I've been training for 1.5 years, and in particular, my strength and mobility have never been better - and it carries over to other sports, activities and everyday life. Also, the people there are great - check it.
Thank you Carson for all your hard work and dedication to your training with us at Kazam. Let the gains continue my friend!
Fantastic experience: I've had the most wonderful time at Kazam. I came in there last year with a lot of skill goals and no direction, and I have been able to achieve them and even surpass what i initially thought i could do. I did all this while training safely, improving my mobility and flexibility and laying a good foundation to keep doing this for many more years. I can't recommend them enough.
Thank you for all the awesome hard work Abdul!! From the backhand spring, bar muscle up, ring muscle up, handstands, and now planche...never stop the grind man! Lots to look forward to :)
Fantastic experience: My wife and I both joined Kazam over a year ago and have enjoyed the classes it offers as well as the community and awesome facility! Keep being awesome!
Thank you Keaten! We appreciate you and Sabrina, and all your antics! Stay after them handstands :)
Fantastic experience: Joining Kazam Gymnastics is the most integrative mind-body-spirit gift I could have given myself at this time in my life. What makes it so is the inclusive atmosphere, the quality of the instruction and the welcoming community of clients who bring with them a wide variety of fitness skills and movement backgrounds. As probably the oldest member of the gym currently, I have been delighted to find a space where I feel safe and supported in being where I’m at and going at my own pace. I’m in the company of runners who want to increase upper body strength, cross-fitters who can’t touch their toes, parents who were gymnasts three kids ago, yogis who want to branch out into tumbling, and so on. In other words, everybody here is working on their own goals and everyone’s progress is noticed and celebrated. There’s no clique, no competition, no hazing. And there’s a progression for every exercise that will meet you at your level. The curation of the program, level of technical detail in its delivery, the sheer fun of hanging out (literally!) in such a playful vibe has been medicine for me on the mental level as well as helping me repair and retrieve neuromuscular pathways lost to neglect over many years. I simply can’t recommend it enough.
Dianne, thank you for taking the time to write out this special review, just for us :) Its been a true pleasure to watch you learn, grow, and adapt in our program the past year. The mindset and positive spirts you bring to each class says alot. You're a true inspiration to the many other members in our Program! Its never too late to be AWESOME
Fantastic experience: My favourite place in the city! I recently moved to Ottawa and was looking for somewhere to re-train my flexibility after years off of competitive dance and learn new skills. Kazam is THE place for everyone - whether you are a long-time gymnast or completely new to the sport. I really appreciate how supportive everyone is, both the coaches and the students, and it's a great place to meet people as a newcomer to the city like myself. There is no judgement here, everyone wants to support one another. There are also so many classes to take and the programming changes every few weeks, so you never get bored. I've now been a Kazam member for 3 months and I've already noticed a difference in my strength and skills week over week. Kazam has found a lifelong member in me!
Jenna, we always love the hard work and effort you bring to every class. We look forward to seeing where you will be in a year from now with new and old skills coming back! Thank you for all the kind words! :)
Fantastic experience: Well-organized, incredibly fun and effective workouts. I found Kazam through an outdoor class led by Alex at a community centre downtown. The gym is clean and close to transit. All of the coaches are patient, funny and experienced in teaching adults of any age. They are excellent at working with injuries, and I have gained a lot of confidence thanks to this. Kazam has allowed me to try hanging, lifting, tumbling and circuit workouts that might normally feel intimidating for women. The atmosphere is relaxed and always friendly. I had not planned to join a gym at all this year - now I can't wait to go back!
Hey Julia, don't stop the grind!! From the outdoor calisthenics park classes to Kazam, we appreciate your efforts and attention to detail with us our our adult gymnastics program! You decide your own limits at Kazam! Stay awesome :)
Fantastic experience: I came to Kazam to try and master my handstands and ended up staying for so much more. The inspiring people, the wonderful community and Alex, the owner have brought a sense of belonging into my life unlike any other place in Ottawa. Kazam is a place where you can build strength, learn fun new skills and enhance whatever movement modality you’re already involved in. Alex builds incredibly thoughtful and fun programming which is designed to help you see your progress week over week. It’s a place where working out is not a chore but an exciting part of your day. It’s also incredibly well priced in comparison to other “fitness” places. Give yourself the gift of trying out Kazam - I promise you won’t regret it!
Anastasiya, one of the the most dedicated and hard working members over the past 6 months. The results speak for themselves. We look forward to seeing what you can accomplish in the next 6 - 12 months. Keep up the grind and stay awesome :)
Fantastic experience: Kazam is an amazing place that specifically teaches adults extremely awesome gymnastics skills. The coaches are really engaged and really attentive and the workouts are super fun and just the right amount of challenging. The environment is welcoming and positive and the coaches are very careful to ensure that everyone learns really fun skills in a safe and methodical way. I always wanted to learn gymnastics - so happy to see that this is not just for kids. The drop-in model works really well for busy adults/ parents who can't sign up for something on an ongoing basis, but still want to do something fun for themselves. I also love the idea of building a really strong base to do certain skills, like handstands. Genius approach. Thanks for building this place! Keep up the great work!
Thank you for the thoughtful words Lauren!! We know its not easy being a busy mom with kids and a family at home. Thank you for taking the time to train with us. Each week you're catching on to the skills in our tumbling class. It was also super nice to see you at Handstand class this week. Next up strength basics? :)
Fantastic experience: La première fois qu’on m’a parlé de Kazam, j’étais surprise qu’une école de gymnastique pour adulte existait! J’ai commencé à y aller en mars 2023 et plus sérieusement en septembre. Je développe des habiletés vraiment intéressantes et tellement amusantes! Les coachs ont appris à me connaître et à me donner des alternatives qui me conviennent depuis le début. J’adore la place, je vous recommande d’essayer! ☺️
Thank you for the thoughtful words Sonia!! Your confidence is building up and the skills are starting to happen both in strength and handstand classes. Lets keep these coming. 2024 is looking great for you :)
Fantastic experience: Time to get Ka-ZAAAAAM'D! I've been to a few gyms and Kazam is the one that has kept me coming back. The programming is intense but approachable, various from month to month, and has end goals so you know what you're working towards. The community here keeps you accountable and is so supportive. I found that consistency at Kazam has helped me improve in ways I didn't think I ever could (hello, upper body strength!) and develop more mobility in the process. There are always variations to an exercise if you need to scale it down, but Alex and the other gym members will be sure to support you and push you to try things outside of your comfort zone! All of this, plus it's fun! I definitely recommend this gym if you're looking for a fun way to add in functional fitness to your life.
Fiona, a true inspiration to all of the members and team at Kazam! Youve come so far with your abilities throughout our program. We also love the mindset and effort you bring to each and every class. We look forward to seeing what you can do under the one day soon :) Keep paving the way!
Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough about Kazam! I was struggling with getting back into a workout routine following all the pandemic lockdowns when I found this gym. I’m finally excited about exercising again because coming here is something I WANT to do, not something I “have” to do! There are classes and modifications you can make regardless of skill and fitness levels, which I really appreciate! I feel so much better mentally, physically, and even socially thanks to the friendly and welcoming community here
Woot woot!! Go Robyn Your attitude says alot every class and we enjoy working with you! Gymnastics ain't easy, but a good workout sure does wonders for ones mental and physical health. We appreciate you! Keep it up :)
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Kazam to anyone!! Wonderful coaching staff and community! Started off not knowing how to do any gymnastics moves to now being able to hold handstands and more. No matter your skill level or ability, you’ll learn something new and surprise yourself!! Don’t miss out on an amazing experience.
Keegan, we love the energy you bring to the gym! Ring muscle ups, handstands, and press to handstands in the making for 2024. Keep at them basics :)
Fantastic experience: I've been having a lot of fun learning handstands, tumbling, and getting stronger! The team at Kazam have been so supportive and encouraging. There's often great dance music playing and it's always a positive vibe!
Ange, Thank you for being Awesome. We appreciate your positive energy and fun vibes in every class. Especially when you break it down to the hip hop :) Keep up the great work!
Fantastic experience: Kazam has a great gym environment with awesome coaches. The community is friendly, supportive, and helpful. Some of the members are inspirational, with how strong they are :). The coaching system is great during sessions, especially with individual form-fixes and explanations of what I should be feeling. I like the structured classes, because I don't have to worry about making a routine. Alex creates a well-balanced programme with a variety of exercises. I love how they've created a dedicated space for adults to learn and train in gymnastics! I was never a gym-rat before, but I am very happy to show up to this one!
Thank you for the kind and thoughtful words! We feel very blessed to have the supportive community that we do and all the awesome people it comes with. We love the strength gains you've made this past year. Lets keep building up these classes and get at them handstands! 5 - 6 classes a week soon :)
Fantastic experience: A special place with excellent coaching and a community that cares. My own progress in strength and mobility have been significant over the years I've been with the gym. If you want to stay active for life in a supportive atmosphere, this is the place for you.
Thank you for the kind and thoughtful words Fred!! The progress you've made is awesome the past few years. From a major car accident and 1 year of bed rest, to now getting kazamed, unlocking new skills, and gaining new mobility ranges each month! A true inspiration. Stay awesome
Fantastic experience: I'm thrilled to have discovered this place. It offers an ideal balance of strength and flexibility, and the instructors are incredibly knowledgeable. I feel my body improving after every class!
Thank you Carlisle!! Only a couple of months into the program and killing it. Imagine what can be done in another 10 months!! Lots of skills around the corner for you :) Stay awesome!
Fantastic experience: As someone who’s spent much of the last few years sitting at a home office desk, I wouldn’t describe mobility as one of my strengths. So when a friend of mine invited me to try out the adult gymnastics gym that he and his wife had been frequenting (and speaking very highly of), I thought to myself “If it helps unlock some never-before-experienced mobility, teach a couple cool skills, and on top of that, introduce me to a new community of people, what’s to lose?” Fast forward almost a year – still loving it. What makes Kazam a unique place for adults to exercise is the atmosphere, without question. All the coaches I’ve had the pleasure of meeting have been super kind and helpful, and that extends to the people I’ve met during class as well. I’ve learned over this time that increasing range of motion is a long journey and that’s why it’s nice to be able to exercise somewhere where community is such a high priority. Another thing I appreciate about the gym is the range of skill classes available. No matter what level I progress to, I know I’ll always find a welcoming group of people at each step. I’d recommend Kazam to anyone looking for an outlet that’s different from the typical fitness gym and yoga studio. Although it would make a great supplement to those! Compliments to Dani, Alex and company for creating such a fun culture around health and fitness.
Thank you for putting this together with the very thoughtful words Dan! We appreciate you and your efforts at Kazam. Stay Awesome :)
Fantastic experience: I've really enjoyed my time at Kazam! I never found training at a typical gym to be my style so I'm so grateful I've found Kazam. Kazam makes gymnastics approachable to any level of athlete. The classes offer a great variety to build strength and work towards skills. It's also a great format to build accountability.
Great to hear you've found the right place Mackenzie! We enjoy having you :)
Fantastic experience: Been with Kazam for a year! Made some awesome multi-talented hardworking friends! I can hold handstands for much longer now with good form. I’m more confident about landing backflips on any surface. Got my first muscle up on the pull-up bar and rings, also learned how to walk on the slackline!! The coaches are competent and Alex puts his heart and soul into Kazam so you can expect quality classes but he also goofs around when he gets the chance, it’s hilarious, good vibes/ community!
Moe, it's awesome having you train with us. You have made significant progress in your handstands and mobility. Thank you for trusting our program. See you soon!
Fantastic experience: One of a kind gym. There are no other adult-focused gymnastics schools in Canada, as far as I looked. I have been training for 8 months now, and I have seen great results. Super friendly and competent coaches. This is not just working out: I have become more aware of how the human body works and developing it in a sustainable way. Highly recommend.
Ryan, it was amazing having you train with us over the last past 8 months. You have made incredible progress and we hope that we have left a long-lasting positive impact on your health. Our goal is to come to you to Toronto one day :) Until then, stay awesome!
Fantastic experience: Awesome place to be a kid again, as it’s filled to the brim with awesome like minded people. No other gym like it in ottawa. From slack lines to sponges and all kinds of cool knick-naks, there’s something for everyone here no matter your fitness, strength, or skill level. The drop in/open gym time are quite long and inexpensive ($20).
Saiku, thank you very much for your review. We appreciate you training with us and love seeing you getting stronger and better every week! See you soon :)
Fantastic experience: I absolutely love Kazam! All of the instructors are very friendly and the classes are so much fun! Here, I learn new skills, made new friends, and found a form of a fitness that was challenging but very fun to keep up with! Definitely check them out!
It's great to have you train with us Nahomy! Thank you for being an awesome member :)
Fantastic experience: Joined to improve my rock climbing, not realizing I would end up falling in love with gymnastics as well. The training is fantastic, and I see soo much improvement monthly and sometimes even weekly in different areas of my body and capacities. All the classes, basics, level 1, and conditioning that I have been to have taught me so much individually. Great as well for body-mind-spirit connection, helps release a lot of anxiety, especially if you have a day where you are just stuck in your head. The gym feels like a safe space to go work out, learn, and release the day, and when gyms in general can be very hard to feel safe in sometimes, this is something that does not go unnoticed for me! The staff is fantastic, kind, and the coaches are incredible!
Thank you for being awesome Ariane!! We love the fun and big smile you bring to every class. Its always been really fun to work with you. Keep up the great work :)
Fantastic experience: I found Kazam gymnastics post-pandemic and it was a great way to find community again. It is an excellent facility that offers everything one could want in a gym: a great space and supportive and knowledgeable staff and coaches. Coach Alex MacInnis knows how to motivate anyone who attends his classes. He creates diverse and inventive programming that is adaptable to every skill level and age. Strength, conditioning and mobility classes are fantastic and they evolve as the program progresses in order to help people achieve new goals and objectives. As a former gymnast, I also enjoyed the tumbling and handstand classes which focused on proper technique. I consistently received helpful corrections and useful drills that helped me improve and get stronger. Every few months, Kazam also offers a benchmarking day, which is a great way to measure individual progress and encourage each other. Thanks Dani, Alex and other coaches and staff for everything you do. I recommend Kazam gymnastics to everyone.
Joaquin, thank you for training with us over the last year! I am very happy that our gym provided you with the right environment for you to train and make progress on your gymnastics journey. See you soon :) Stay awesome! - Dani
Fantastic experience: Coming to Kazam in 2018, I wasn’t sure at first that I would be gaining insight into how my body moved and thought it would be another group class gym setting. Alex took the time with every individual at the classes I attended to help explain and demonstrate the cues needed to understand the basic foundations behind the movements. Little by little, as I learn to unlearn the bad habits of excessively overloading the weights I use to train, and really dial in with the concepts as Alex described them, that I have started to see progress. Fast forward to now, I’ve watched Alex grow his business from a shared gym space to a dedicated adult gymnastics space, with a wonderful community of adults who are looking to enhance their daily lives by achieving goals that may have seemed impossible at certain points. I have a new appreciation for this sport (I never competed or practiced it before now), and seeing the progress I make weekly has been addicting. A sincere thank you to Alex and all the coaches for making my mobility and gymnast dreams come true. Cannot wait to see how far I can push my ceiling with KAZAM.
Hey Moustafa - Thank you for your kind works and love for Kazam! Your hard work and contribution to our community doesn't go unnoticed. We look forward to seeing what you can accomplish this year!! Stay awesome :)
Fantastic experience: Exercise made fun with purpose and utility! Highly recommend giving the introductory onset program a try.
Hey Zach, thank you for joining our program recently at Kazam! We look forward to helping you unlock some awesome skills this year.
Fantastic experience: Kazam is an amazing place for adults to learn or get back into gymnastics. Alex and the team are extremely friendly and welcoming and don't make you feel out of place at all. The classes are tailored to everybody's individual ability and a great side benefit is all of my nagging aches and pains went away after just a few weeks. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique and fun workout!
Hi Alex, Thank you very much for training with us over the last year. We are happy to see your progress and commitment to yourself. Keep being awesome and see you soon :)
Fantastic experience: As someone who has struggled to properly recover from chronic hip, knee, elbow and shoulder injuries, Kazam helped give me the tools to finally be able to properly implement the corrective exercises given to me by physiotherapist/coaches over the past 8-10 years. After the first class, I was hooked. Alex’s ability to see where I was compensating/where my form or posture was failing during movements was second to none. I felt like I was getting one-on-one therapy, but in reality I was in a large group fitness class. Many of the exercises we performed in Kazam’s classes were widely available/popular online. However, the problem (IMO) with performing these types of workouts/exercises at home is that you may not be aware of where your form fails/where you are compensating. After joining Kazam I was able to feel the full benefits of these exercises I had been performing at home over the years, and finally start to see an actual progression in my strength. In addition to that, I quicky saw how these skills/strength transferred over to other sports like hockey and rock climbing. For example, the Handstand class helped me develop proper shoulder mobility, scapular control, and then I was able to transfer this over to rock climbing. It has made me feel a lot stronger when I have my arms overhead pulling on holds, and has allowed me to put less stress through my fingers. After realizing I had been hinging at my hips improperly for most my life, I was able to become proficient with this movement, and transfer it onto the ice while playing hockey. Another benefit of Kazam’s classes is that the participants encompass a range of abilities, from beginners to ex-gymnasts, which should make anyone looking to join feel comfortable knowing there will be other members of similar skill/fitness level. Additionally, the community at Kazam is incredibly encouraging, and have developed an eye to help other members correct their form during movements. After 3-4 months of attending Kazam’s classes quite regularly, I’ve become way more aware of my body’s posture, as well as how my spine, hips, and shoulders should be moving during various exercises. For example, for years I would keep my pelvis posteriorly tucked during hinge movements like a deadlift, or skating (in hockey). However, Kazam’s classes quickly made me see what I was doing wrong, I was given proper cues on how to correctly hinge, and over a period of weeks I became quite comfortable with this movement. I would recommend Kazam to almost anyone who isn’t an athlete that already has a coach/therapist properly addressing their movement patterns. For the individual who sits at a desk all day, or stands all day, Kazam will help you explore new movement patterns and get you out of the postures you find yourself stuck in. I believe it would also benefit any athlete or gym-goer who is struggling with chronic joint/muscle pain, and has not been able to benefit from other forms of therapy (whether that be PT, chiro, osteopathy etc…) All in all, in 3-4 months of being a member, Kazam has given me the tools to take my fitness to the next level, and finally move on from the chronic injuries I’ve experienced for so much of my life. I will for sure be joining the group again in the future once life circumstances allow me to attend more regularly.
John, thank you very much for the detailed review. You hit the nail on the head with everything you said. We feel very fortunate to have had you as a member. You were very aware of your current capabilities and limitations and how to work on improving them. You were patient and consistent. As you mentioned, the result was an improvement in your body awareness, which is key to unlock other abilities and also to be able to avoid future injuries. We hope to see you again in the near future. Until, then we wish you the best on your training and other life endeavors. Thank you for your review and for recommending us to others in the community. See you soon :) Dani - Team Kazam
Fantastic experience: Literally loved everything about this place. One of the trainers (Sophie or Sofie) was, like, the best. Excellent instructor, very motivating and encouraging, super strong, and she went way - like, WAY - out of her way to make sure we had a good time! The gentleman who I think was the owner: totally awesome dude, and made everything really easy for us. The facility itself: immaculate, big tall ceilings, the best squishy floors for practicing stuff and falling (which I did my fair share of), and lots of equipment for stuff I don't know much about yet. The other members: very cool people, friendly, and happy to share their knowledge and tips. I'm 34 and will probably be visiting this place until I'm 100.
Hi Andrew! Thank you very much for your kind review. We are very glad to hear that you had a positive experience in our space. Sophie is an awesome coach. I also appreciate your kind words about me, Dani :) the dude behind the desk and the space itself :) I hope we see you again when you're in town!
Fantastic experience: I've been training with Kazam Gymnastics for a year now and I can't recommend it enough! When I started, I was looking for a balanced and holistic approach to building strength and mobility and Kazam did not disappoint! As an aerialist, my shoulders have sustained long term injuries but since training with Kazam they have never felt better. My handstands and strength skills have also improved exponentially! Coach Alex is incredibly dedicated to the program and you can see this in the quality of the classes, which focuses on form and technique. The program offers a diverse and comprehensive selection of classes that covers the foundation for gymnastics skills, but you don't need to be a gymnast to start! The classes usually change structure every month so you have time to really see progress on skills before the focus changes. The class environment is supportive and encouraging, and the coaches are knowledgeable and approachable. If you’re looking to try something new to try or to level up your gymnastics skills, then this place is for you! Thanks for the fun year, Kazam!
Christina! Thank you very much for the awesome review. We are extremely happy to see that you are making progress with us. We appreciate your continued support and commitment to yourself and to the gym. Stay awesome for many many more years to come!
Fantastic experience: Easily the most addictive gym experience I've ever had. Started with them 4 months ago and already feeling major improvements in how my body moves day-to-day. Helped with a longstanding knee injury as well. Alex and the other coaches are pure hype and talent, and get excited with you at every little win :)
Hi Noor, Thanks for being awesome and joining the Kazam Community! We appreciate your hard work and mindset you bring to class each day. :) Stay awesome!
Fantastic experience: Very supportive and encouraging environment and the coaches really know their stuff! Highly recommend.
Thank you for the kind review Jenna! It's been a pleasure to work with you and we look forward to seeing your skills improve!
Fantastic experience: I've been taking class for a month here and I am very impressed with the quality of the instructors and the equipment. I would highly recommend this gym.
Thank you for sharing thoughts on our gym Sophie! We very much enjoyed having you join us at Kazam the past month and look forward to what the future holds for you.
Fantastic experience: I always wanted to get back into gymnastics and I found this place through Instagram. It wasn’t what I expected at first I’m glad I joined. The coaches are dedicated to getting everyone the proper technics, form and strength. Coach Alex often mentions “it doesn’t get harder, you only get stronger”. I sadly had to step back because of work but I will definitely come back to keep working on myself. Definitely recommend!
Thank you for training with us Wilchina! You did amazing :) We look forward to having you back very soon. All the best!
Fantastic experience: The energy and vibe speaks for itself, amazing and incredible community!
Thank you Filipe. We love having you train at our space. Keep being awesome!
Fantastic experience: This is the only fitness program I have ever been able to stick with. Kazam Gymnastics provides a safe, encouraging space to explore gymnastics movement and strength, and they happily meet you at whatever level you are at. When I came to Kazam in 2019, I just wanted to recapture some of the gymnastics movement from my childhood... working through the program, my handstands are stronger than they have ever been before. The Kazam coaches and community have helped me realize I am stronger than I think I am, and have encouraged me to explore skills I never thought would be possible.
Electra!! You've been on fire the past 3 years at Kazam. Your progress in many areas continues to shine and lead the way for others. Stay healthy, and stay AWESOME :)
Fantastic experience: I first heard about Kazam through a trainer I follow on social media, seeing him work on handstands and gymnastics movements made me very curious about the place especially since I love all types of movement, mobility and have been working on my handstand for the last couple of years. By the time I decided to try a Kazam class, COVID hit and everything was shut down. I still reached out to Alex in order to get more info on classes and membership and he invited me to the online classes. I first starter with a Saturday morning mobility class which was super fun and it was followed by a handstand class. The way the Handstand class was structured made a lot of sense and even if everything was done virtually, Alex was able to point out some alignment that needed adjusting in order to maintain proper form. I then continued with other virtual that was offered which allowed me to see how knowledgeable Alex was in his teaching. I am so grateful that these classes were available during COVID and especially seeing the human side of Alex, he wasn’t just there to teach a class, he was there to see how members were doing during these hard times and was offering his help if needed. I think that’s what me stick around… Summer then came around and I was able to take the virtual classes outside and that’s when I was able to connect the dots. The things we learned in mobility and strength class helped me take down some barriers and allowed me to get more air time in my handstands and took away my fear of falling. The adventure continued with outdoor classes where the child in me came out with all those cartwheels and hand balancing options. I then discovered rings and that is now my new challenge, but I am glad that I have a great trainer to help me through this new adventure. Now that gyms are open, I’m able to meet other members and be part of this adult gymnastic community. In talking with members, some have been there for years and you feel the gratitude and commitment they have toward Kazam and with the little time I’ve been there, I feel the same as well. This community, like minded who wants to learn gymnastics while having fun and always supportive of each other is what differentiates Kazam from other gyms. What’s next….well Kazam is now introducing benchmarking, that will help me establish a baseline and will guide me in what I need to work on in order to improve my gymnastic experience so that I can crush my next benchmarking experience. Once thing is for sure, it doesn’t matter how old you are, its never too late to be awesome!
Steven, its been such a pleasure to have worked with you the past 2 year. You started during the pandemic and have made amazing progress. Your consistent weekly schedule, hard work, and love for movement is inspiring to us all and we appreciate you at Kazam. Thank you so much for all your kind words. We look forward to the many AWESOME years to come :)
Fantastic experience: I joined Kazam gymnastics years ago but then had to move away for work. I missed it so much and then I recently moved back to Ottawa and first thing I did was join the program again! I was never a big fan of going to the gym and working one muscle group at a time, gymnastics works so many things at the same time and is the ultimate mastery of your body's movement and mobility. It's so rewarding and there's so many great skills that you get out of it! Alex's program is awesome and he is a fantastic coach, very knowledgeable and helpful. You don't need to be a gymnast to go here, you can start at any level and build up from there, and the results are amazing. Alex has a unique method called benchmarking where you can measure your skill level over time and see the improvements!
Luka, we’re super pumped to have you back to Kazam these days!! Hopefully you’re here now to stay. Thanks for all the kind words. Stay awesome!
Fantastic experience: They said I was cool. I agree :) Five stars for the compliment! But it's also a great training space with encouraging people and everything is clean and new, so you should come play too. I've done Alex's class at a different location before and they were fun and challenging, and currently, I have friends who do classes at this new location and they love it. See you at open gym!
You are totally cool! Especially with the chair tricks :) See you in the gym Becca!
Fantastic experience: Amazing coaches and great gym!! Such an encouraging and positive group atmosphere :)
Thank you for sharing this J'aime!! Keep being AWESOME :)
Fantastic experience: I've joined Kazam Gymnastics in 2018 and never looked back! I came in with minor injuries and lack of mobility and thanks to the well-rounded programming, knowledgeable coaches, and their attention to detail, my body feels better than ever! I very much enjoy being part of this like-minded, yet diverse community, with people from all walks of life, looking to improve their fitness and well-being. All the classes are super fun, yet have a structure that includes warm-up, skills work, a strength component, conditioning, and a cool down, leaving my body feeling better then when I walked into the gym, every single time! Thank you Team Kazam!
Tiniko, thank you for being such an awesome student and member of our community :) You really walk the talk and do the work and its inspiring for so many!! Keep being AWESOME
Fantastic experience: Adult gymnastic facilities, great coaches and space
Hey Tayo, thank you for sharing this!! Keep being Awesome :)
Fantastic experience: Alex offers a fantastic adult gymnastics program based on mobility and strength for beginners and former gymnasts alike!
Thank you Alessandra!! You're doing awesome these days. With all your hard work and consistency over the pandemic, you've made drastic improvements. Keep up the hard work!
Fantastic experience: I can't say enough about how awesome Kazam Gymnastics has been for me! When I moved to Ottawa in summer 2019 I was looking for a supportive and efficient training environment. I'm in my early 40s and, like most of us, have a busy work and family routine. I have been physically active fall of my life (rugby, weight training, jiu jitsu) but had never previously trained in gymnastics. Alex and the team made me feel welcome and helped me gradually and safely progress through the introductory Onset program, providing regular individual feedback during training sessions. In less than a year, Alex's instruction has enabled me to make significant improvements in my handstand, ring muscle up, bridge, as well as my general mobility and flexibility. Kazam Gymnastics is a supportive community of aspiring adult gymnasts who celebrate each others' successes regardless of one's level. When the pandemic necessitated a temporary shut down of in-person classes, a quick pivot to live and recorded virtual training occurred which allowed us to stay active and motivated during these challenging times. I now continue to do a combination of virtual and in-person training as this accommodates my busy schedule. As Alex would say, "It's never too late to be awesome" and he certainly motivates us all to strive for awesomeness! I highly recommend Kazam Gymnastics to anyone looking to improve their overall fitness level.
Dave, thank you very much for the awesome review. We are very happy to be part of your fitness journey. We have seen you progress significantly since you've been with us, especially as you said your muscle ups and handstands. We hope that you continue to invest in your health with us. Stay happy and healthy :)
Fantastic experience: Updating this review from a few years ago. I love love love Kazam! If you are looking for the most welcoming and constructive experience in gymnastics and just plain old life, go and get "KAZAAAAAAM'D!" I've been a member since the early days when Dani and Alex were just starting out. This is not a competitive environment that will make you do things you are not comfortable with. Form and function over output. 'Strength through Range of Motion' is their mantra. From the beginner gymnast to the pros, there is a class for you! Even through COVID, we got to experience Kazam online and everyone came back together even closer than before once we could! Xmas parties, open gym, stretching, strength, rings, handstands, flexibility, you name it, they've got it!! There are not enough good things I can say about this place. I just wish I could spent all my time here! Love you guys.
Thanks for the review JB :) See you in class!
Fantastic experience: I thoroughly enjoyed training with Kazam Gymnastics. Alex worked with me towards my personal fitness goals over the last few months. He tailored the training to strengthen my weaknesses in a stepwise manner. His approach made realizing my goals much more achievable than I had anticipated. Alex also has a really great understanding of the body, its movements and alignment and would correct my technique and position in order to ensure maximal efficiency and that proper muscle groups were being targeted. I look forward to continuing to work with Kazam Gymnastics to improve even further!
Danielle, Thank you for seeking us out to work on your gymnastics strength goals! We appreciate your kind words :) It's also been a pleasure to work with you these past several weeks and I look forward to further assisting you with your goals. Enjoy your Travels! - Alex
Fantastic experience: I had a terrific experience taking classes with Kazam; the coaches are knowledgeable, encouraging, and adapt skills to the level of the students. This style of training truly marries the best of strength and flexibility work, and we were lucky enough to be guided by a former competitive gymnast. You won't be disappointed, and I recommend Kazam without reservation. If you live in Ottawa, consider yourself lucky to have this facility at your disposal; I can tell you it's definitely rare!
It was a pleasure to have you visit our program!! It was impressive to see how fast you learned some skills. Your strength training in NYC is really paying you dividends! Looking forward to having you back soon :)
Fantastic experience: If anyone in Ottawa has any interest in learning gymnastics, Alexkazam Gymnastics is the place. The group's philosophy of "It's never too late to be awesome" is fantastic, as is the positive learning environment Alex and the other instructors encourage. The coaches are all knowledgeable and approachable, and will absolutely work with you to achieve your goals.
Thank you for sharing Matlock! We love having you in our program. I see you putting in the hard work day and and day out and its paying off, in ALL areas. Well done my friend!
Fantastic experience: Alex is a great coach. Great program, super knowledgeable and really attentive and helpful, and he makes it all super fun!! Keep up the great work!
Hey Rise - Your passion for movement, music, dance, and building community is amazing and we LOVE having you part of our program. I look forward to helping you grow and learn gymnastics as an adult, as well collaborating with you on community events and bringing more Awesomeness to Ottawa!
Fantastic experience: I just finished the fall Onset program and can't WAIT to start some new classes! I really love the changes in how my body feels. Plagued with various injuries over the years, I was a little nervous getting started but quickly realized the movements were actually helping my body, especially with mobility. Alex is a phenomenal coach - his knowledge and enthusiasm re-ignited my passion for gymnastics and I'm looking forward to keeping it in my regular workout rotation. Highly recommend Kazam Gymnastics!
Hey Kerry - We appreciate your investment to yourself, your body, and your continued professional & skill development. Your passion for fitness and helping others really shines and we look forward to having you in our program in the many years to come !!
Fantastic experience: Alex is an amazing coach and person. His team of coachs are also very helpful. The training you get from those classes genuinely feel like you're doing what's best for you body.
Hey Michael - Thanks so much for your kind words!! We care most about how our members move and feel. Prioritizing this first allows them to achieve their goals with much longer lasting results and much less injuries! See you in class :)
Fantastic experience: I joined almost a year ago, looking for a different kind of workout to mix things up a bit and do something fun to stay motivated. I had limited time to spare and found yoga and other similar classes that helped me to work on mobility weren’t generally enough of a workout. Alex’s program is a great combination of workout, mobility, learning new skills and just becoming more aware of how to use your body. I’ve learnt how to move in new ways and with muscles I somehow neglected despite being very active across many different sports over the years. The teachers are very supportive, always pushing me to work harder and to try things I never thought I’d do. While I mostly go for the fun, I come out of most classes with skills, stretches or strengthening elements that I can use, not just for gymnastics, but across other sports and activities – things that will hopefully keep me moving well into old age! Everyone should learn to handstand in their forties!
Thank you so much for sharing Belinda!! We love having you and Paul in our program. Its great to hear your appreciation for the mobility and learning to stretch in different ways. It's super important to always continue to move and challenge the body in new ways. Your hard work and passion for gymnastics really shows in your progress over the past year. Stay AWESOME :)
Fantastic experience: This program is absolutely AWESOME! My partner and I have taken the Onset program this past winter and just finished Strength and Handstand 1 this summer. The classes are fun, exciting and constantly varied. Alex and his coaching staff (shout-out to Adrian and Tristan!) are incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, empathetic and will push you to challenge your limits and fears and surpass them. We have always felt very safe when attempting new things that are sometimes out of our comfort zone. Also, the amount of energy and dedication Alex puts into his business is admirable and from what we can see he truly cares about his clients and their well being. Erin and I are at different levels in our strength and flexibility, but we were able to follow these classes together because the coaching staff takes the time to modify to everyone’s needs. This program is for absolutely everyone. It is so wonderful to have the opportunity as an ADULT to learn a brand new skill set and learn how to move well. My body has never felt better. Since starting this program, chronic pain in my hips and lower back have dissipated tremendously. My day to day life has gotten better because of this. Looking forward to seeing what’s next. And again we recommend this program to everyone! It’s never to late to be AWESOME!
Kim, you and Erin are AMAZING !! Thank you for sharing this :) Both of you are well part of the community and its a pleasure to work with you both. Keep being awesome ♀️
Fantastic experience: I've been training with Alex for 3 years, and it's been a consistently fantastic experience. Alex and his coaching team are highly experienced, and focus on correct form and progression, which has been key for me avoiding injury and gradually building a wide gymnastic skillset. I've done several of his classes, but can most commonly be found at Strength 2, which provides a challenging and inspirational environment with a great bunch of gymnasts.
Erik, you're the man. You've improved so much over the years with your gymnastics strength and mobility which is transferring well to the new skills. We look forward to seeing what you can accomplish in the years to come.
Fantastic experience: I have taken the Onset class, Handstand 1, and just started Strength 1. Alex, Katherine, and the other coaches are friendly, knowledgeable, and encouraging. The other students inspire me to keep learning and getting better. The workouts are scalable to all levels so no previous experience is required. I started taking gymnastics class as a supplement to training for competitive dodgeball. After the Onset class, I have improved body awareness and ability to move on the court, as well as learnt many warm up and mobility drills that have helped me get ready for games and kept me away from injury. I am excited to learn more transferrable skills and get more benefits as I continue to progress in gymnastics and train for dodgeball. I keep telling all my friends that if I eventually retire from other sports, I will likely still keep doing gymnastics.
This is a very cool story Kevin ! Alot can be learned in only a short period of time, and this is only the beginning. We're excited to see where you take your gymnastics game both on the court and in the gym !
Fantastic experience: I love coming here! The coaches are supportive and friendly, the other students are fun and inspiring, the whole atmosphere is inclusive and uplifting. I've built up skills I never thought I'd be able to perform. I've made friends. I feel healthier, physically and emotionally. The people here are seriously great, it's an awesome community! The workouts are a mix of challenging, instructional, and fun. I look forward to seeing what I'll be able to accomplish next!
Thank you for sharing Michael ! You're such an awesome person to be around and an inspiration to say the least. Your recent lifestyle transformations is amazing and allowing you to do amazing things. Cheers to many years to come :)
